MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL

NEW YORK, Oct. G-The stock market was
rather heavy at the opening this morning most
stocks showing declines from yesterdays final
prices of from Is to % per cent. The market was
quiet to dull, though two three stocks were de-
cidedly active. The entire list was strong from
the opening and fractional advances were record
ed. The advance was checked at 1915, and after
a slight reaction the market became steady at the
advance. The activity then underwent marked
decrease, and at i o'clock the market was quiet
and steady. Money easy at 4a5.

The Travelling Public to Blame.

Perhaps collisions at sea between greIs steamships will become entirely impOS- sible some day; but it will not be untr the travelling public gets over its presen, hurry. If steamships came to full stop the moment the fog settled down on them, or just as soon as another fog horn than their own was heard, there would not be any serious chance of their coming to- gether. By code of signals under such circumstances one vessel might even ad- vance slowly while the other stood ready Co back, until it was certain that they had passed each other. But this would be slow work, and the growing of the pas sengers Gt the delay would probably drive the commander to suicide or viO- lence. No, the public itself is not yet quite willing to travel safely.-New York Tribune

THE northern press is apparently 6 unit in its opposition to the placing O. about 1200 San Carlos Indians on the the Verde. These fellows are good enough for southern and southeastern Arizona, but not stylish enough for the people of the north. But If these In disns be sent to the Verde as they in all probability will. they will be put on the vacant lands of the military reservation and will not be allowed to dispossess or interfere with the white settlers in any manner whatever. The taking of these people from the San Carlos would be a double benefit to the settlers of the south. In the first place, if sent to the Verde, they would DO longer be stand ing menace to the lives of our people and in tine second place if sent away there is every probability that ihe San Carlos reservation would be out down and the coal fields set without its lines Ii sent to the military reservation oD the Verde they would even if inclined be powerlsss to do hsrm-s something they are not where they now are.

FoR vegetable productiveness and rs

FoR vegetable productiveness and rs- pidity of growth, Southern Arizona can beat any place in these big United States, ss the following instances will prove. Lsst spring Mir. H. Msneger, the Meyer street merchant. planted bed of radish seed and in twenty-two days from the date of planting the seed. the radishes were served on bis table, large enough for use. Mir. Pierce Ford. our well known hardware dealer, states that fig tree in his garden was scoidently broken of last spring, close to the ground but it put up 6 shoot and the same sea- son yielded 6 plentiful crop of fruit. l.. D. Chilson. the well known civil CD gineer, stated in the CITIZEN office yes terdsy that on 4th- of August, when CD route to the Vekol he passed the Pap ago town of Busjste and the Indians were at that time breaking up the land preparatory to planting it with corn. On his return on the 4th. of September. exactly one month, the corn wss up and in full tsssel all over the entire field of about 30 acres. It must be remember ed that pnor 10 the planting of this corn 6 crop of wheat hsd just been harvested of this ground.

The market has been sensitive, and the advance hes been checked by the large supplies brought out by the higher prices.;
 OoPPxR.-There hss again been . very good business done during the past week. and from S00.000 to 1000 900 pounds of copper have changed hands. We quote Lake: Spot, 10 30 to 10-9Oc.; October, 10 90c.; November, 10 95c; De- cenber. II Co ll'l0c. The demand for casting copper continues very good and there IS scarcely anything offered. Prices are firm at from 10 to l01kc, Advices from abroad report @ very firm market and good business being done for con sumption. The rise ID the Exchange on Indis has brought orders for man ufsct- uring copper to England more freely. Messrs. Martin & Co, cable us under yesterdays dste that the copper statis- tics for the second half of August show . decrease of 700 tons. We quote Chili bars st f40 5s-; best selected, f45 los. Nothing definite is known about the fire st the Calumet 4 Hecls mine, reports state that it was opened on Wednesday.
 LRAD.-Lesd has shown every dispo- sition to maintain its previous frmness. Sales of about 400 tons have been made at AS and 465,, the latter price being for smaller parcels. The speculative clement maintains 6 bold front, and offers At -cut-rstes meets with no re- sponse, but to the contrary the large holders are still buyers, both west and east, of any parcels that shade the cur rent market. Arrivals from the west are extremely light, and the importation figure. 4'65c., based on s12 st London, alone keeps the market in check.-Nin- ing ( Engineering Journal.

THE APACHE SCOUTS.

 The four Apache scouts who were re- ported on Sunday Es being CD tbeir way to this city for EsfessepiDg, prepar- atory to being taken 70 Alcstrsz 10 serve & term Of imprisonment for mutiny, ar rived yesterday morning under guard of Captain A. Norton, Ninth Infantry, U s. A., and a detachment of ten soldiers. The names of the Indians are. Be-cho- ou-dsth. As-ki say -la-ha, Na-can.o n.oui-ssy and Kid. These men were regularly enlisted as Government scouts. and con seQuenily came under the jurisdiction of the military law. They were dressed in moccasins and linen pants and coats. Their long black hair was parted in the middle and held ID plsca by 0 red tnrben. Their ages range from 30 to 40, and their physiogpomies gre of tine usual Iudisn cast, clear cut features and deep black eyes are the principal characteristics, while their walk IS 1.-the and cat like. 1mmedistly on their arrival the prlsun- CTS were taken to the room prepared for their confinement and by the couTtesy of Colonel BraytoD, Bee Tei eiorier wss allowed to be present during the ironing process. Each man was called out sep erstely and under 8 strong guard tbc leg irons were placed. During tbe op- erstion the prisoners maintained stol- i'd look, and. moved about in do2ged manner. When in the cell they sat up- on blankets and smoked cigarettes A basket of provisions was placed ID one corner. although they did not manifest much desire to psrtske thereof They declined to converse with any one ex- cept Colonel Brsyton who hsd become acquainted with them while psssing through the San Carlos Reservation some time ego.
 The men are reported to be good scouts and have performed some very ef- fective work for the Government.

pefyinr spanish Court Etiquette

The queen regent of Spain is knocking the blue laws of Spanish etiquette 10 pieces at jolly rate. The other day she called a meeting of the ministry at the Castle of Aranjuez. When the statesmen reached the gate of the park they found the aneen and the Princess Isabel waiting for them. The queen was in a victoria and the Princess Isabel was in a drag and four. The queen was driving. She in- vited Senor Sagasta to take a seat beside her, and the other ministers were accom- modated in the drag. On reaching the castle coffee was brought, and the queen ordered cigars to be produced as well and offered to the gentlemen. The ministers seemed to hesitate. In all the annals of Spanish history no subject had ever smoked fin the presence of a queen The queen regent, however, gave the com mand, and the ministers, like dutiful sub iects, obeyed. Gold sticks and chamber lains have been ever since in hopeless despondency.-New York Tribune.

Her or ders were to sink until they struck water and send 6 bill to her for each hundred feet. The boring for srtesisn wells is going on all over the state and land is being rapidly taken up. During the last few week the clerks in the State Lsnd Office have been worked night and day. We trust that the Board of University Regents will reconsider their anti-srteeian we'll programme. and that the original proposition to bore for ar tesisn water will be carried out. Should they do so and be successful, it will be the forerunner of thousand similar wells all over the Territory.

India. Professional Poisoners.

Although the Thugs of India have been long since exterminated, a HindOO writer in The London Standard tells how they have been replaced by professional poison CTS. These people make use of g poison extracted from the seed of the ahatuEa. mixed with opium, and travel from place to place, now poisoning a travelling com paniOn for his money, a laborcr for his oxen or a host for the valuables in his house. They are distinguished from the Thugs in that they kill women, children and pilgrims, which the Thugs would nor do. The road poisOners are organized secretly, and great efforts have been made to exterminate them, but thus far with out success.-New Orleans Times-Demo crat

The scoupdrel who has stolen 6 million dollars, is treated almost with difference and handled with gloves; while the poor devil who makes sway with s100 is look ed upon ss criminal of the deepest dye During the past two or three weeks the courts have been carrying on 6 legal farce with Henry s.

Cotton Seed Product.
JOHN LA8IBIR

r Two-thirds of the cotton seed oil sold in the United States goes to the makers of lard and butterine, and its use to the eX- tent of about 20 per cent. has been one of the most powerful influences in reducing the price of lard. IL is also being used for cooking, and a large proportion of the oil taken with salads and sardines IS the product of the cotton fields. Happily sci entific men declare that it is perfectly wholesome, and some say that it is better than animal fats, at which yegetarians will rejoice. It is estimated that not far from 6OO. .OOO tons of cotton seed are used ,n this industry every year, and that from 400. .OOO to 800. 900 barrels of crude oil are produced, half of which is exported from the states The oil is not the only prod uct of the seed. The meal, after the oil has been expressed, is sold, either loose or compressed into cake, for animal food, cattle taking to it kindly, and for fertiliz- ing purposes. When refined it is difficult to distinguish between the cotton and olive oils.-Chicago Times.

IT is reported that the Regents of the University will reconsider their action relative to the boring for srtesisn water at its last session. It is the sentiment of our citizens almost with one accord that this should be done. The success of one srtesisn we'll in the territory will lead to the boring of a thousand others.
